The YNIS satellite - Image 1Your Name Into Space, an "aerospace initiative of MIT and Georgia Tech", is a program that seeks to launch a small unmanned research spacecraft designed by students into low Earth orbit in 2010. The science on board will help pave the way for humankind to explore our solar system.

Now, why the name? That's the cool thing about this project. The proponents are inviting everyone (yes, you too, Mr. Facial Dandruff guy) to participate in the mission by uploading content to be printed on the spacecraft.

The content here can be anything from your name, your signature, a corporate logo, a picture, or any other MIT-approved imagery. Hopefully, a picture of Pauly Shore will not pass MIT's rigorous image-screening process.

The four packages you can have for exorbitant amounts of cash after the jump!
